Yes, I did. Worked fine. Had Warspite in a fancy Italian stripe. Didn't look bad actually. Lend-lease mixing of colours went fine as well.

Can you not imaging how good you look when dressed in the latest fashion movement coming from Milan?
To spare your feelings I have only sent your brothers to the tailor....

warspite1

Brothers? These are ships AxelNL - feminine not masculine [:@]

The R-class battleships and the Renown-class battlecruisers are unloved step-kids in relation to the Queen Elizabeths [:-]

Last and no means least, remove that unsightly imagine immediately - the Royal Navy does not surrender to the Regia Marina!!!

Sheer brilliance. [:)][:D]

Unfortunately this saddens me when I compare with the adverts I am forced to endure. [:(]

Since all the RN ships are female should not HMS King George V have been named King Georgina V or even Queen Georgina V instead? [;)]

Would it not be weird and disrespectful to refer to a King as a she? [X(]

Yes, I think we should re-name some of these; how about Frau Tirpitz and Frau Bismarck [:)]

I am so sorry, Warspite1. But did you not start with mentioning trousers? The fancy Italian stripe could have easily been on their skirts?

Your brethren (ok now?) were captured in a surprise invasion of Port Said, and supported two Regia Marina transporters in capturing many an atol/island around the Arabian sea in that particular game. They saw more action than they normally do in my games [8D]

I do not think Germany consider their ships to be female.

Is that right? I assumed all countries did - but never really thought to question it? I'll post a question in the GD forum. Interesting.

Now i know what "Fighting Trousers" are.

Currently been working on the renaming air units. Its still a work in progress. Sneak peek.
This week I'll work on Japan turning Yellow. Then China.

Oh yeah! Olive drab for the American forces. I remember I fiddled with this a bit, but I used a more green olive shade. I also seem to think of either yellow or red for the Japanese. Probably because of the board games I've played that used those colors for them.

You might like this for shades of Olive Drab.

Model Master 1711 is the right one. Even looks uniform cloth-like.

That is also my favorite shade. It may not be the best choice for a counter background. [:(]
Its hard to find a good readable color that's not a shade of white.

I'm leaning more and more to a lighter shade of Model Master 4728 with a Model master 1711 as the fill-in for the NATO symbol.
Still it was worth looking at the various shades.

I like the BB Montana row very much! The lower row looks a bit German to me, could you put a German unit next to it?

Here is the original German color and the mod colors being worked on. I'll get a Japan Yellow up later.

[paulderynck]

Last two rows look quite good to me, but the US 7-5 shouldn't be a white print unit should it? Also it's surprising 4728 comes across that dark given the swatch in post 31.

If the US could be little lighter, maybe? (Of course we all need to keep in mind not all monitors are created equal so we may not all be seeing the exact same colors.)

For me the difference between the darker 7-5 print and the white 8-4 is good enough, but if that holds on the board without having the different units close for comparison...? Then again, one should focus on the interiour colour of the Nato box.

I still like the lower row very much for the US, the Bayerlein row is very Germanic. Reminds me of a German counterset of an old Avalon Hill - but which one?

The OD Green is really dark except for a couple of shades. Depending on the monitor in use, they do look lighter or darker.
I'll continue work with the last 2 rows. getting the anti-aliasing cleared up will be a project by itself. So many US counters.

The AH game you might be thinking of, back when the French were pinkish.

Hi! Warhunter if you have a little spare time, I got a petition, could you change the painfull pink for spanish nationalists? Yes, I am spanish and its too hony to me. Some kind of gray, blue, olive or brown would be more acceptable.
Thanks for Khaki, is wonderfull!

Greetings Viktor,
I'll come up with something for you to look at and choose.
